Displacement Water Tutorial

on Mar 15, 2006 @ 10:58 am, jmh132 wrote:  A very nice water tutorial has been added by aliased. It reads "Creating a realistic water surface in Photoshop is quite a challenge because it is the distorted reflection of the surroundings that makes the water look liquid. The displace filter is an excellent tool for making this distortion."

i think you can find some results from this tut in the contest "skating prohibited" i used the tut to there, had some problems but that whas because of different settings, i had colored channels and got confused cause it wouldn't get grey lol.

:-( I tried to "Gimpify" this tutorial and failed miserably. My water/reflection ended up looking like an impressionist did a paint-by-number kit. WHAAAAAAAAAAA

Ive got to say displacement is one of the least used tools that photoshop has to offer, yet it is a tool that can produce prolly the most dramatic effects, this is a great tut and an awesome insight to the tool. Learn it and experiment with it.

haha! @ Tofu don't you have Photoshop?! You can at least get a copy of 7.0...somewhere...
